As always, just pick up the phone and Andy answers. Andy contacted me and apologized about the misconception that they are not offering this program to independent clubs. In fact they are and at least one other independent has joined.
NO apology needed, and I wasn't being critical. My point was I hoped that this initiative would expand to independents once the "bugs" were worked out.
I've always felt that we could have a "made in Ontario" ladder system where you could progress to a Classic through a club network affiliation and it appears Andy is going to try and make that happen.
I'll be talking to Andy and Vita more about this new program when I get back to Ontario and bring the details to our club for consideration.
Again, thanks Andy for the quick reply.
